Great suggestion! Couldn't have said it better myself! Not even close!

After my upgrade to Squeeze I have a lot of packages that were "rc": removed,

Hey all,
I have been trying to solve this mystery for a while. I have Defoma on my
system and just upgraded to sqeeze. I found old messages in the Defoma package
logs that said it was a dead project. That was YEARS ago. But it's in Squeeze
and there's no mention of it being dead. I use fontconf

Someone probably already replied to this, but there's a little more info on the
"LMTypewriter10" mystery. As Norbert Preining points out in the NEWS.Debian.gz

like, the MAKERS of the font itself! So I guess that's no

No no, misunderstood -- that was not how I upgraded. That was what I did AFTER
the upgrade.
What I first did was just like what you said:

I am almost-almost there with this problem. It's come down to some Phpmyadmin

First of all, Remco was absolutely right: I had to try reinstalling

Roger, I think that must be the problem then. fc-list gives me a little more
than 1300 font names, but this one (LMTypewriter10) is no longer on that list.

Ok, I just tried making a /var/run/mysqld directory as described here:
